The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, has launched a street lighting initiative aimed at improving security and supporting economic activity across several communities in his constituency.
The project, known as the Street Lights Project, covers areas including Tafo, Nhyieso, Abed, Pankrono and Adabraka, where residents have long complained about poor night-time visibility and safety concerns.
For years, inadequate lighting in the communities has been linked to heightened security risks and reduced commercial activity after dark, with traders and residents limiting movement in the evenings.
Assafuah said the intervention will involve the installation and rehabilitation of street lights, adding that improved illumination is expected to deter crime and create a safer environment for businesses that operate at night.
The initiative forms part of efforts by local authorities and lawmakers to address infrastructure gaps affecting urban communities in the Ashanti Region.
